How does it look ? Is it a high quality piece ?

I am very interested in this piece and look forward to hearing all of your feedback.

 

There are a few that aren't too far away:

Thanks for the help.. But philly is pretty damn big(unlike Atlanta) all those listing for dynos are at least 35mins away.. The closest would be a place called JD's but they're like mustang enthusists'..so I don't really if the dyno is tuned a certain way or not.. If i'm in the mood i'll try to go up there..But I'm not promising anything....

35ounces: I'm very impressed at the quality and craftsmanship of this piece.. Very well done and detailed ..You can truely tell alot of R&D went into this.. VERY well made.. I can't stress it enough. I'll post pics in a couple of hours.. when I get in from work..

 

do you have a direct link?

i can't find it

 

I have to laugh about the ... SIZE of Philly (unlike Atlanta) ...

Without going and researching... how much bigger IS Philidelphia? Because Atlanta is DAMN huge.

 

Pics please, I've had the Carbon Kevlar one for my old BMW. Its incredible.

 

I was bored, so I went and researched.

2000 Census US City Population
Philadelphia city 1,517,550
Atlanta city 416,474

2000 Census US Metropolitan Area Population

Atlanta, GA 4,112,198

 

If I'm reading the charts correctly in

http://www.gruppemeurope.com/fcjcar.html

I see a +13 hp gain? Am I wrong here? I also see a +1.3 on torque? Would that +13 be to the wheel since it's a dyno chart?

 

For those too lazy to click, here's the dyno chart:

 

i dont see why people dont just make a ram air channel to the stock air box?? that would save so much more money-- :P

 

very nice piece

 

Just got back from Renn Sports. Got a GruppeM intake system. I will atempt to install it tonight after work. According to Sam at Renn, it should give anywhere from 7 to 9 rwhp. The 13 hp posted is the dyno of the Japan Z and it was not to the wheel. I will post my thoughts after the install.

Chebosto is right we could just make a ram air channel, but it would't come with a nice carbon fiber air box. I guess people think it's too pricy for this item (which I don't disagree with), but considering that you are getting more than a pipe and a filter ($200+-) and it's actually carbon fiber, IMHO it is not bad for the price.

Hope you didnt get the last one!
I'm waiting for response on install, gains, quality, overall satisfaction and pics, pics, pics. Thanks.

 

Acutally I did get the last one =), but no worries, he said there is 3 more coming in on Tuesday. I asked him if they were giong to raise the price, but it wasn't set yet.

Also, those who are thinking of getting this, keep in mind that after after inital dyno is posted, it should actually be more gains than that. Since the dyno will only have a fan blowing air to the car, when you drive the car, it should be different and should feel a little more power than the dyno.

P.S. I was going to dyno it, but decide not to. I will post pics later while doing the installs.

 

Ok I installed the gruppem intake today I took some pics during the hot sweaty garage install .. Yup it was a pain in the *** to run the hose to the scoop it took me like 20 mins to align the scoop and bolt it down. Do this install with some help.. Doing by yourself sucks... I'll post a few pics in a bit ..

After the install , the car seems more powerful ...its noticeable, to me at least... If u punch the pedal it gives off a slight growl...

Overall im happy... I just need some Band-aids..

 

need pics man

 

Did you need to remove the nose to install the scoop ?

 

How long did it take you? I'm going to try it tonite and need a time estimate.

 

It took me about 2 1/2 hrs. Mind you I never removed the bumper before and I'm VERY detail oriented...Everything must be perfect for me..and my Z

35ounces: Yes I removed the bumper damn what *****! I'm used to hondas were the bumper just snaps off with a couple of clips...


I'm in a rush so here click the link for pics.. I will take more tomorrow http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/react3

copy paste if it doesn't work

 

The filter part looks like its dented ?! Maybe just the lighting ?
